Islamic State destroys ancient shrines in Syria’s Palmyra city.
Islamic State militants have blown up two ancient shrines they consider sacrilegious in Palmyra, a 2,000-year-old UNESCO World Heritage site in central Syria, the ultra hardline Sunni Muslim group said on Tuesday.
The report was the first of any damage being done by the militants to buildings in Palmyra since they seized control of the city, also known as Tadmur, in May. Syrian forces have bombed the city, and the militants camped within it, since then.
Before-and-after pictures showed several militants carrying explosives and the shrines, which are not among the city’s monumental Roman-era buildings, reduced to rubble.

We draw Mohammed, they destroy history. Who else destroys history? Oh, that’s right.
Strange that the ENTIRE WORLD knows where they are and what they are doing, but doesn’t really go after them where they are while they are doing it.
Why? Hmmmm?
Obama has historical blood on his hands…
Good. Serves an uncaring, selfish world right. Chicken shit mofo’s.
